Oud Noir Intense by Fragrance Du Bois, composed by perfumer Francois Merle-Baudoin, is a dense evening oud built for cold weather. Cardamom and bergamot open it with a spiced, citrus-tinged lift that fades fast. Rose and jasmine follow, floral but restrained, softening the middle before the wood arrives. The base carries most of the weight: oud, saffron, sandalwood, patchouli, amber and vanilla, thick, spiced and faintly sweet. Men and women both wear it, chasing an oud with body rather than a thin wash of it. Voters keep it for winter and autumn, almost always at night or in the evening. Longevity comes back clearly long-lasting in the community vote, and sillage leans strong, so a little covers a lot of ground. A 3ml decant is a fair way to meet an oud this heavy before buying more.

The community verdict
Oud Noir Intense moves from cardamom and bergamot through rose and jasmine to oud, musk and saffron. Most find it long-lasting; strong projection leads, though some find it room-filling. It suits a bold, floral-woody mood on winter nights, with autumn evenings also fitting.

The house
More from Fragrance Du Bois
Fragrance Du Bois is a niche house based in Paris, set up in 2013 around one material, oud, with a stated focus on sourcing it responsibly. Expect smoky, balsamic and slightly earthy perfume, softened by amber and vanilla. Saffron, cardamom and pink pepper bring heat, while rose or cherry adds sweetness. Sirène is the easiest way in: dark cherry and amber wrapped around oud. Oud Rose Intense and Oud Orange Intense come from the first year and show where the house began. Lucius and New York 5th Avenue show its newer work. A small bottle tells you how oud sits on your skin.
